i've worn prescription orthotics for almost 20 years now, and i just discovered that the brand Revere makes SANDALS WITH REMOVABLE FOOTBEDS DESIGNED FOR ORTHOTICS, AFOS, AND BRACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY STYLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slide into style without sacrificing support. The Revere Sandals collection blends elevated design with thoughtful ergonomics so your feet f
IMPORTANT NOTE: not every pair has the removable footbed, and i haven't found a way to sort by that on the website. but if you look at the More Detail tab under the product description it'll say "Removable footbed to insert custom orthotics, AFO's and braces"
disclamer: i haven't tried them yet, but i'll be getting a pair for my birthday. i have been searching for years for sandals that i can wear orthotics with and i've never found any, so i'm beyond excited to try these out

growing up disabled, whether from birth or later in childhood, does something weird to your brain. I've experienced this, and so have some friends irl I've talked to about it. at some point, stuff like doctors appointments, PT, OT, specialist appointments, orthotic and mobility aid fittings and modifications, blood tests, scans, it all feels less like medical care and more like a whole bunch of annoying errands and chores.
to able-bodied people, medical needs are an occasional thing for an acute problem. it is necessary and usually not something you can put off. they deal with it, recover, and move on. so it's very hard for some people in my life to understand why I put off making appointments or doing my excersises and stretches, even when it leads to things like ankle contractures. which I am now dealing with because I didn't want to get new orthotics even though I knew my current ones weren't doing what I need.
even though this is objectively a bad thing, I find it hard to regret my decisions because it's not like I'm ever going to have normal feet anyway. what's one more abnormality if it doesn't change anything functionally?
i finally got to draw a full piece ft. Viktor's beautiful brace . 💙 i'm completely absorbed with him hjghhgf .
this is my part of an art trade with MeepingFae !!

Got curious about the Crip Time I've got going on when it comes to putting shoes with traditional AFOs, so I decided to time how long it took me to go from bare socks to shoes. First time was with the AFOs and the second time was without.
Here were the results:
With AFOs was exactly 1 minute 19.64 seconds
Without AFOs it took 8.87 seconds
Same shoes, and tried to go at the same pace
I'm not great at math, but I do know that is more than 3 times as long ?? Just to put on shoes, mind you. So if you're seeing this and you're able-bodied, please be understanding when disabled people are running late. This doesn't even account for things going wrong (like AFO malfunctions or sudden flare up of motor issues).
And here are screenshots from the stopwatch, though not necessary since I placed the times above. Just in case you wanted to see them idk
hi, I hope this is okay to ask, but because you were talking about your job and identified viktor's braces in one post, is there anything you could tell me about what kind of brace Jayce would wear?
Let's assume he needs it because the fracture healed wrong. The first brace he makes himself just to stay upright, then he gets another in Piltover.
Is what he wears in Piltover accurate to what someone with his issue might wear (I feel like he's not in the city for long so he might not have had time to get the perfect one)? If not, what should his brace look like?
this is absolutely okay to ask! (long post incoming)
the brace jayce wears first in canon is the world's worst kafo (knee-ankle-foot orthosis), i believe. it doesn't have the patellar support that viktor's does, but it doesn't seem that he needs the same support that viktor did, given his second brace also doesn't have patellar support.
jayce's first brace also does not have the structure to provide much more than lateral (side to side) stability. both of them look like they work more to keep his leg bones aligned than to support motion. given there's a hinge on only one side, his knee may be lacking stability in one direction instead of both rather than needing weight redistributed.
anyway- as for what it looks like. it's a kafo still, but with what looks like fracture bracing and/or splinting for the lower leg. this one is also properly secured around his thigh, so just for that it gets many more Realism Points.
now- and sorry for just now answering your question, this is a SI for me- ideally jayce would have had his leg set and cast to prevent a chronic injury, but he is doomed by the narrative to be a mirror to viktor. whoopsie.
i don't believe we're told *exactly* what he broke, which makes it hard to say what he'd need. if it was his knee, he'd use something like an offloading brace with lateral support. if it was his ankle, he'd probably use an afo, given the lasting damage from walking on it anyway. if it was one of the long bones in the leg, he'd probably keep it splinted/immoblized.
tl;dr- we don't know enough about what he broke to tell what he'd need. his first brace is shit and would only provide lateral support and *maybe* ankle support. maybe. the second brace is more accurate to what someone with a chronic injury may wear. i think it's important to remember that a lot of the smaller details on his brace are aesthetic and stylistic, and it can be hard to tell where that starts and stops, but yeah- his second brace gets the thumbs up!
